Bought this because my 3 year old loves the live animal children's
movies. The overall story is cute enough but only if you can stomach
the terrible, forced acting by these 'actors'. My son was easily bored
when it came to the human only scenes. The adults with their rigid,
unnatural dialog and lack of chemistry all the way down to the little
girl with the lisp, who was forced, awkward, unenjoyable and who's
character made no sense.

The character of Truman was well played although the actor Trey Bumpass
seemed bored half the time, his chemistry with Bailey was very sweet
and enjoyable to watch. I would love to see him in something more
challenging, he seems to have the natural talent ability and looks for
TV and film. If it weren't for him saving the film, I'd consider it a
massive flop and whoever was in charge of casting should be fired.

Overall, I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this DVD. I should have
waited for Santa Paws 2 because at least there, the acting isn't
forced. It makes me wonder if this was a production put one of those
unqualified acting schools that gives work to their actors only if they
pay for involvement.

But if you are able to see past forced, terrible acting, then by all
means buy it.
